Returning to the Common Cup
The Parish has been directed by the Bishop to return to the Common Cup by the end of October 2024. He advises that the sharing of the Cup of the Lord is rich in meaning and value for the communicant. It was the early church’s practice and is the traditional Anglican way of receiving the Blood of Christ, as enshrined in the formularies of the Book of Common Prayer. It is a symbol of our unity in Christ through the sacrament of the Eucharist.
Financial Support
As the Parish cannot operate without finance parishioners are encouraged to continue depositing their weekly pledges in the Parish Bank Account, BSB 705-077 Account No. 00040354. The deposit should be accompanied by the initials of the church the parishioner usually attends, e.g. A/S = All Saints, H/T = Holy Trinity and S/J = St Johns and the number of the pledge envelope or O/P (open plate) if not using envelopes. To ensure that pledges remain confidential parishioners should not record their names on the deposits.
